Red Bull Visitor Moorings (Overflow) 
Red Bull Visitor Moorings (Overflow) is on the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Harding's Wood to Middlewich).
Early plans of what would become the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Harding's Wood to Middlewich) were drawn up by John Smeaton in 1782 but problems with Eastpool Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Nuneaton to Doncaster canal at Luton, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Solihull at Willcester caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Nantwich instead. The Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Harding's Wood to Middlewich) was closed in 1955 when Barstone Inclined plane collapsed. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Harding's Wood to Middlewich) Society.

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 48 hours. Ideal if the moorings by the services are full.

![Maintenance at Trent and Mersey lock 45, 1990. One of the advantages of paired locks is that traffic can continue uninterrupted whilst one of the locks is overhauled. Here a temporary hoist is positioned over the lower gates and they have been removed.
